In examining the evidence of history, she highlights the consequences of applying dangerous untruths. She also looks at how Christians often respond to the culture's lies - in silence, acquiescence or celebration of them - and why these responses can be as harmful as the lies themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the second part she turns to the truth which leads to real liberation and justice.
